Things I forgot to mention: part 1

In the first week of October, my former instructor Eva Wiley asked me and a couple other students (James Bouche, Rei Lem and Mollie Little) to help her out with an installation for the 2012 Juried Faculty Exhibiton at MICA.

Eva's work is incredibly intricate and beautiful to look at. Turns out it's super complex and dynamic to create. She came to the window (where we installed the piece) with at least 25 screens all pre-exposed with her imagery. We were there to hold the screen while she pulled the squeegee and positioned the images where she felt they should go. It was amazing to see the whole thing come together. The task seemed daunting at first but by the end of the second day we all felt very accomplished and the piece was finished.

 The space we had to work with in between the window and the wall. It was a tight squeeze and we had to walk like an Egyptian to get past one another as we were darting back and forth to the washout room.

A view of us working from outside. We had to cover the window because the sun did a good  job cooking us. Then towards the end we uncovered it to get an idea of what it looked like from outside.

Us adding the few last touches and admiring the nearly finished piece.
